I haven't been able to figure out how the jacket supposedly folds into its pocket, but there may be tutorials online. I have to carry everything with me during the day In San Francisco, so I appreciate a lightweight but functional jacket that is compact.

This is my second jacket. My first one finally lost the waterproof layer after years of use, travel and a couple of re-waterproofings. It hung by the door six months out of the year. The lightweight styling and fit are second to none out there. I look forward to years of fishing, hiking, biking, dog-walking and running chores with this new one.

Purchased this for a recent trip to SE Alaska. It kept us out enjoying the scenery on hikes, kayaking, whale watching, and more through the wet weather. Kept me dry and helped block wind for hours at a time. Easy to move in too! Very lightweight and packable. Pit zips were great to keep cool but dry. Would recommend as a waterproof shell!

I bought this because my old OLD raincoat was falling apart and not keeping out the rain. This is great! I really enjoy the adjusters on the hood! It's very light so definitely not designed to keep you warm but you can definitely throw on a fleece layer underneath if need be. I also love the obnoxious day-glo green color I got. Even brighter in person :D

Yes, there are several patches of velcro to hold the storm flap closed. it's non-continuous, and easy to open and close, but it's there. If you'd like something with no velcro at all, you'll need a rain jacket with a waterproof zipper.
